"When receiving an artifact shipment, you will get a single artifact.

The more points you have accumulated, the higher the chance of
receiving a rarer and more powerful artifact."

This would suggest that the most rare and powerful artifact that we can get via an artifact pull is a Mass Storage Pod. However, the frequency that Mass Storage Pods are gained makes them frequent, not rare (nor are they "powerful" IMO.) I usually pull 8-12 a week (average across the last 4 weeks). They are simply not worth the 20k artifact points that they cost.

-If you equate them to the GP cost of artifacts, they are 4 times as powerful as a planetary flux. (Planetary flux = 40 GP, same as a Continuum Beacon. Continuum Beacons are 5k artifact points. Since a Mass Storage Pod is 20k then it should be looked at as 4x more special than a planetary flux. This is not the case by a long shot.

-Another way to look is that Tesseract Containers are 14 GP for 10 space to cargo, Mass Storage Pods are 60 space, so with that scale, they would be 84 GP if you could buy them, making them on par with a Quai-Spatial Expander prior to their cost drop.

I would like to request that either the frequency that MSPs come in artifact pulls is scaled back or the artifact point cost be scaled back to something more equitable with what they are. I just don't feel that they justify their frequency or cost.

well, i'm finally at the point where my cargo is growing faster than my artifact shipments can fill it. and i'm just fine with that. in other words, i'm still in the stage where i not only appreciate msps, i am happy when i get them. The obvious option is if you dont want them, use them in the ct lab. but, since so many players dislike getting them, i would once again like to propose that we lower the msp drop rate by half, and add in 3 new 20k artifacts into the drop. not only that, but add one that is 40k, so that it will decrease the msp drop rate further. in other threads ive suggested a good 10 or 15 artifacts that would fall into these requirements, but right now i would really like to see a 25k NPC 'summon' drop. But since that would require new 'mechanics' i would just like to see an upgrade of rescued prisoners for 20k (Indigenous Slaves? for 10 rank points), an upgrade of the androids similar to the experimental crates (but obvously without android engineers or tac officers) and something similar to the laz parts vault, but maybe with 50 to hull and shield for 20k.

Another idea would be a "lock out artifact" after a certain number of pulls in 24 hours. I've been awake for 5 hours and I pulled 6 MSP's today. It's ridiculous. Even two in 65k AP, with different flavour artifact between them.

If that's random, Dan, get another randomizer. The one you're using is totally broken.

Edited P.S.

Alternatively, make the tesseract cost 3500 AP and remove them all together. What's the point of having two artifacts doing the same thing.
